Linda Hart Tabory, ESQ

Hi I’m Linda Hart Tabory and I know what you’re going through. Over the past 20+ years my focus has been on helping families plan for the inevitable moment when they realize their aging parents or grandparents can no longer handle personal, financial, and legal affairs.

We help families create effective power of attorney relationships, guardianships, wills, estate planning, and mediation – often as they are juggling a diagnosis of dementia and failing health of a loved one.

Our Services

A Power Of Attorney (POA) is a written authorization to represent or act on another’s behalf in private affairs, business, or some other legal matter.

That’s the “legal” definition, but that fact is that a properly worded power of attorney document is the foundation of any good estate plan and if it is not worded precisely according to the statues of your state, the person you’ve chosen will not be allowed to legally act on your behalf.

When a person is no longer able to make decisions about health care, finances, or other aspects of life, guardianship may be the next step.

We work to help sort out guardianship issues and avoid them altogether if possible. An effective power of attorney document is a key tool in avoiding unwanted guardianship assignments.

Our view is that a guardianship is the legal path of last resort because it removes your wishes, but at times poor planning or no planning forces families to bring the court in to make a decision on their behalf.Click to continue »
